Thread: Steering wheel help needed.

    Steering wheel help needed.

    Hi everyone,

    I have been running a Prototipo on my backdate while waiting for inspiration. Well today at the local Porsche show it came. I saw an RS clone with correct 380mm wheel and hub. Now I know what I must do, but here's the problem.

    I realize that in early '74 Porsche changed something fundamental about the steering column (spline maybe?) and steering wheels are either pre or post 1974. So here's my question; can I get a 75-77 wheel and remove the cladding to reveal a RS-style wheel underneath with the ability to mount on my 1988 column?

    Here's a shot of the 75-77 wheel:



    Thanks for any help,

    -Mike

    Mike, underneath that padding there's a spring type of crash center, which looks nothing like an earlier steering wheel hub.

    Thanks Tom.

    I also made an inquiry with a gentleman who refurbishes 914 wheels into RS wheels. He has offered to make me a custom adapter/spacer. This is a product that they had been considering offering and it seems my request was a timely one. I'll post pictures when I receive everything.

    Thanks again.
